Canon has released details of a new version of its EOS-1D digital SLR with an 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and burst capture rate of 8.5 frames/second for up to 40 shots (20 shots in RAW format).  Embedded in a rigid magnesium alloy chassis, the EOS-1D Mark II’s sensor measures 28.7 x 19.1mm, which gives it a focal length multiplier of 1.3x with Canon EF lenses. It is coupled with a new DIGIC II imaging engine, which delivers images with minimal noise, natural colour and rich gradation. New algorithms have been included in the metering controls help prevent underexposure and overexposure even when the subject changes location.
Canon’s advanced Evaluative Through-The-Lens (E-TTL) Autoflash system combines with a new averaged metering system and New WB Compensation allows separate or combined adjustment of blue/amber and magenta/green biases in ±9 steps, providing the same effect as using light-balancing (LB) and colour-correction (CC) filters, respectively. Three hundred and sixty combinations of 36 (4 colours with 9 steps each) built-in digital colour filters are possible. Seven Colour Matrix settings (including five factory presets and two customisable settings) are provided for JPEG and RAW images, allowing five-level adjustment of colour space, colour saturation and colour tone. ISO speeds are selectable in 1/3 increments and may be set as low as 50 or as high as 3200 through the ISO extension menu.
